Where is wine produced these days?
Wine is being produced in just about all latitudes around the world. I already explained that wine is made in regions considered not apt for wine production not long ago. As a result, understanding wines according to terroir may be more difficult, but the good thing about it is that the wine culture is penetrating unexpected regions like never before and wine is becoming more and more part of the daily life of many countries, as well as different economic levels, since good quality wines are being made at more affordable prices. People from all segments of the population are today in a position to acquire and consume wine on a regular basis. Although the concept of terroir was born in France and they are the only ones that strive to keep it that way, there are some other regions around the world, including the new world, that are willing to make the concept of terroir a part of their viticulture and philosophy.
